Windows 10: After a windows update, my PC boots to black screen with movable cursor, before login

For the past couple of months I have been suffering this issue without being able to find a fix.

I keep getting a windows update install just before my PC shuts down. After the PC boots up again, I get past the bios and "Starting windows" screen but then I am left with a black screen and cursor which I can move. It also has the loading wheel next to the cursor. I am unable to do CTRL + ALT + Delete or Ctrl + Shift + Esc to bring up task manager. In fact none of the windows shortcuts work.

This is what the screen looks like: https://i.snipboard.io/HedOsf.jpg

In order to get around this issue, I have to hard reboot my PC 3-4 times until I get the recovery screen where I can restore to the last system restore point I had. This then allows me to boot back up as normal but as soon as windows tries to update again, the issue repeats.

I literally have no clue on what to do.

Here are the updates which are currently downloading since doing the last system restore: https://i.snipboard.io/fXgjFP.jpg

I am assuming one of these updates is causing my PC to not boot after updating. Any thoughts?
